best part of atproto: no need for gated APIs, just start using public social data without limits* *but like rate limit it as to not overwhelm the network thnx

Perfectly aware that embedders will mostly embed by language rather than locality😅, I still wanted to know how much map like the 2D projections would look like. (E.g. this is Harrier 270m embedding 15k largest cities with country en/en.) More: divepool.social/analyses/cit...

Embedding audio🤫. (Does anybody still have a copy of Disco 10m dataset?)

Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand.

I guess this problem existed before, but LLMs turned it to 11 for me: how do I defend my slack time against relentless optimization loops?

So I've been digging into bluesky retention data to see what is preventing growth of the ecosystem. Using likes/posts/follows you can see who is active or dormant on ATProto. The headline is that only 5% of users are retained at 28d and 10% of current users churn. That's not pretty

Who?

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure: The day after his show was canned after 11 years by CBS to appease a tyrant, he shows up on the Monroe, MI public access channel where he did his first Late Show broadcast in 2015.

„Es gibt viele Männer, die so aussehen, wie er. Ich finde, er ist so ein Vibe.“

Great app, can recommend. Already a customer, so I guess, I might be able to gift someone too?! In any case: get it!

LLMs keep telling me my posts are too self-demeaning and I should tell more stories. So if you start seeing more upbeat narratives here, you know what’s happening. (I gave up.)

Love me some alien invaders that have an antigrav exoskeleton and an AI assisted plasma rifle, but no target movement prediction.

did anyone ever figure out how to get openrgb to automatically set color profiles when a device is reconnected? currently i have to manually click "rescan devices" "load profile" that seems kind of suboptimal. running latest git version, and can't find it in settings

Dafür bin ich auch. Wenn die Hälfte der Halle sagt: „Daumen runter!“, muss das Lied aufhören.

Can confirm.

Also consolidated servers to cut costs. Switched off a backup GPU server and a storage machine. Pretty much running a single Hetzner RAID 0 system and two Mac Studios for embedding at home. Should come up with a backup strategy soon😅. (YOLO!)

Memory shortage is real. I kinda heard of it already, but only now realized the magnitude. (Always dreaming of newer gen hardware.) www.macrumors.com/2026/05/05/a...

Ghost in the shell!

PingArthur.com is running very reliably so far, if I dare say so myself.

We're still in the process of building some infrastructure. But to the question, "CaN wE sEe ANyThInG yEt?". Yes. And we'll be able to use it soon, too 👀

Sitting behind me watching me live debug embedding problems…😅

Sneaked into 2mr for @sebastian.eurosky.social’s gig. Pretty cool location. Starting with some pitches. @fediway.bsky.social looks interesting.

Damn it. Who of you recommended "Armor" by John Steakly here?! Anyway: great, kinda, though not really, military scifi book, thanks! Fighting giant ants but different.

@smartgit.bsky.social a cool feature would be to group repos somehow in "Repositories" partial window / Main Perspective.

Always set a cap for API anything.

Valid advice.

Excellent #ATproto meetup at @bitcrowd.bsky.social yesterday. They also have really useful b2b and b2c stuff in the pipeline. That atproto dataplane research is crazy (and any dev working with legacy code will benefit from their automated visualization and test tooling).

Anyone else recording videos for seconds then realizing for some reason it does not record?! EVERY. SECOND. OR. THIRD. TIME.

If you want to quickly set up a free, hourly uptime monitor, check out PingArthur.com - LLM first uptime monitoring. Coding agents should be able to quickly set it up. Code available on tangled.

Going to ATproto Berlin meetup tomorrow. Anybody else? atmo.rsvp/p/did:plc:oa...

Ten minutes in, cannot imagine this one going bad later. Harrison First, no well-defined genre, break beats or whatever, great #HoerBerlin mix. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItXi...

There is a universe where I never touched a computer and am a distinguished philosopher with a healthy distain for everything high tech, citing Marx, Habermas and ancient Greeks. There, I drink red wine, know complicated tie knots and fluently speak French.

Would be interesting whether compartmentalization of brains in a Severance kind of way can be measured. I would expect my brain to be quite compartmentalized.

I find politicians not talking about the impact on jobs and the adequacy of university degrees baffling. On the last point, open weights models are doing very well

Big fan.

Wiedermal Hamburg Towers. Gegen Rasta Vechta. Läuft nicht soo gut… .

recently I’ve taken to asking people I meet what their *second* favorite of something is. movie, song, etc. most people already know their favorite, but having to think through to their second is an interesting exercise

need a labeller tbh

@bsky.app When onboarding via “Find people to follow” in iOS app, when opening a profile, back button should lead back to the list/search, not my feed. Would be one less click?!

Ran against a glass door. Do not recommend. They did not even have the magazine I was looking for.

Realtime and search API for post embeddings! Just copy to your coding agent and it should be able to make sth out of it. Happy for any kind of feedback, especially if sth does not work. Weekend project and so on. Rate limits and physics apply. divepool.social/api/v1/openapi
